Our role in fast-track applications is to:
The council does not make decisions on a fast-track application. An expert consenting panel appointed by the EPA makes all the decisions. However, we play an important part in the process.
Our premium service team handles all pre-applications for fast-track approvals.
You should start discussions with us early to meet the requirements of the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024.
Email fasttrack@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz when you are ready.
We will respond within one to two working days.
You can contact the EPA if you have any questions.
Check the Fast-track website for more details about the fast-track approvals process.
